Bucculatrix pertenuis n. sp. 



-Face and head white. Tuft white with a few darker hairs in 'the 

 middle, varying from pale ocherous to brown. Antennal stalk 

 brownish. Ground color of the thorax and fore wings creamy white, 

 markings varying from pale ocherous with sparse dusting, to 

 brownish ocherous. The extreme edge of the costa near the base is 

 black or dark brown, and just within the costa is some scattered 

 darker dusting. An ocherous streak along the fold reaches one-third 

 of the wing length. Just before the middle of the wing, there is a 

 narrow curved very oblique costal streak, which, before reaching 

 the middle of the wing, bends and runs parallel to costa; its apex 

 meets a slightly less oblique and broader, more darkly dusted costal 

 streak beginning at the middle of the costa and running more or less 

 distinctly across the wing into the dusting just before and beneath 

 the apex. A broad triangular costal spot before the tip of the wing 

 Scattered dusting along the base of the dorsum joins an outwardly 

 curved rather broad streak on the middle of the dorsal margin, marked 

 on its inner side just beneath the fold by a black dot. Beyond this 

 streak at the tornus is a dusted spot. A more or less distinct line of 

 dusting in the apex extending obliquely toward base. A dark line 

 around the apex in the cilia. Hind wings pale grayish ocherous. Legs 

 whitish, anterior pair and tips of tarsi dark brown. Expanse: 6.5 

 mm.

Head and face smooth ; tongue moderate. Antennae two- 

 thirds, in male shortly ciliate, basal segment, enlarged, flat- 

 tened, concave beneath, and further enlarged by a pointed flap 

 of scales projecting anteriorly and at apex to form a rather 

 large eye-cap. Labial palpi short, drooping, second joint with 

 some rough projecting scales beneath. Fore wings narrow 

 lanceolate with the apex slightly downturned ; ib furcate at 

 base, 2 represented only by a short spur just before 3, 3 con- 

 tinuous with lower margin of cell, lower angle of cell not well 

 defined, 4 and 5 connate, 7 and S stalked to near costa, 7 to cos- 

 ta, () and 10 from near end of cell, i i from before middle: cell
